      <p>
         There are interfaces in the Berkeley DB library which either directly
         output informational messages or statistical information, or configure
         the library to output such messages when performing other operations,
         for example, <a class="xref" href="envset_verbose.html" title="DB_ENV-&gt;set_verbose()">DB_ENV-&gt;set_verbose()</a>  and
         <a class="xref" href="envstat.html" title="DB_ENV-&gt;stat_print()">DB_ENV-&gt;stat_print()</a>.
    </p>
      <p>
         The <code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt;set_msgfile()</code> and 
         <a class="xref" href="dbset_msgfile.html" title="DB-&gt;set_msgfile()">DB-&gt;set_msgfile()</a>  methods
         are used to display these messages for the application. In this case
         the message will include a trailing &lt;newline&gt; character.
    </p>
      <p>
         Setting <span class="bold"><strong>msgfile</strong></span> to NULL unconfigures
         the interface.
    </p>
      <p>
         Alternatively, you can use the
            

         <a class="xref" href="envset_msgcall.html" title="DB_ENV-&gt;set_msgcall()">DB_ENV-&gt;set_msgcall()</a>  or
         <a class="xref" href="dbset_msgcall.html" title="DB-&gt;set_msgcall()">DB-&gt;set_msgcall()</a>
         methods to capture the additional error information in a way that does
         not use C library FILE *'s.
         
    </p>
      <p>
         The <code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt;set_msgfile()</code> method configures operations performed
         using the specified <a class="link" href="env.html" title="Chapter 5.  The DB_ENV Handle">DB_ENV</a>  handle, not all
         operations performed on the underlying database environment.
    </p>
      <p>
         The <code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt;set_msgfile()</code> method may be called at any time during the
         life of the application.
